In various embodiments, some of the components may be omitted, or may further include additional components. Alternatively, in various embodiments, some of the components may be combined into one entity, but the functions of the components prior to the combination may be performed in the same manner. The input / output relationship shown in Fig. 1 is merely an example for convenience of explanation, and may not be limited thereto.

According to various embodiments, the display device 10 may be a television, a monitor, a notebook, a large format display (LFD), a smartphone, a tablet personal computer, a mobile phone, A laptop personal computer, a netbook computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a portable multimedia player (PMP), an MP3 player, a camera a camera, a wearable device, or an electronic photo frame.

According to various embodiments, input interface 110 may receive user input. For example, the input interface 110 may include at least one of a touch sensor, a communication unit, and an input button.

In various embodiments, the touch sensor may sense the touch of the operating means and output the touch coordinates of the operating means. For example, the touch sensor may include at least one of a touch pad (or a touch panel) and a touch control unit. The touch sensor may be a touch screen.

In various embodiments, the communication unit can communicate with the remote control device. The communication unit can communicate with the remote control device using various short-range wireless communication methods such as Bluetooth, NFC or IR communication. In various embodiments, the communication unit converts the control signal received from the remote control device into a control signal that can be interpreted by the processor 140, and transmits a command signal received from the processor 140 to a control unit It can be converted into a command signal and transmitted.

In various embodiments, the input button may be on the display device 10, or it may be a button connected via an external interface (e.g., HDMI) of the display device 10. In the latter case, the signal from the input button may be communicated to the processor 140 via a communication unit (e.g., for HDMI). The input button is operated by the user and can output a signal corresponding to the operated button.

Display 130 may include, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD), a light emitting diode (LED) display, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, or an electronic paper display. Display 130 may display various content (e.g., text, images, video, icons, and / or symbols, etc.) to a user, for example. The display 130 may display a list of objects including a plurality of objects.

The memory 120 may be a volatile memory (e.g., RAM, etc.), a non-volatile memory (e.g., ROM, flash memory, etc.), or a combination thereof. The memory 120 may store instructions or data related to at least one other component of the display device 10, for example.

According to various embodiments, the memory 120 may store a first instruction for the processor 140 to determine whether the received user input is a long press operation or a short press operation. For example, the first command may be for determining a user input as a long press operation if the same user input is continuously received within the threshold time. The first command may be for judging by a short press operation if the first command does not continuously receive the same user input or if the same user input is successively received but not within the critical time.

In various embodiments, the memory 120 may store a second instruction for the processor 140 to differentiate between an indication object according to the long press operation and another object. For example, the second instruction may be for emphasizing the pointing object over another object using at least one parameter except size. The memory 120 may store a third command for the processor 140 to divide and display the indication object according to the short press operation and another object. The emphasis based on the second instruction and the emphasis based on the third instruction can be distinguished.

In various embodiments, the memory 120 may store a fourth instruction for the processor 140 to highlight and display the final object indicated by the long press operation. For example, the third instruction may be for emphasizing the final object using at least one of size, motion and effect (e.g., cubic) of the final object.

The processor 140 may include at least one of a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), a microprocessor, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or a field programmable gate array And may have a plurality of cores. The processor 140 may perform operations or data processing related to control and / or communication of at least one other component of the display device 10. [ According to various embodiments, the processor 140 may interpret the user input in response to the input interface 110 (or type) when the user input is received via the input interface 110. [ The process by which the processor 140 interprets the user input corresponding to the input interface 110 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG.

According to various embodiments, when processor 140 receives a user input via input interface 110, it may determine whether the user input is a long press operation or a short press operation. For example, when the processor 140 receives the same first and second user inputs, it may check the reception interval of the first and second user inputs. The processor 140 may determine that the second user input is a long press operation when the reception interval of the first and second user inputs is less than the threshold time. Alternatively, the processor 140 may determine that the user input is a short press operation if the previous user input and the current user input are not the same, even though the processor 140 continuously receives the same user input as the immediately preceding user input. In another example, the processor 140 may determine that the user input is a short press operation if the previous user input and the current user input are not identical. Since the determination of the long press operation and the short press operation is necessary only when the current user input is the same as the immediately preceding user input, the processor 140 performs a short press operation for the user input and a short press operation for the user input, It may not judge whether or not the long press operation is performed.

According to various embodiments, the processor 140 may receive user input in a state in which an object contained in the object list can be selected (or indicated). In various embodiments, the selectable state of an object included in the object list may be, for example, in a menu for selecting one of the object lists. In various embodiments, the object list may be a list of available functions (or content). For example, when the display device 10 is a TV, the object list may be at least one of a channel list (see FIGS. 2A and 2B), a content list and a setting list (see FIGS. The object list may be arranged in the vertical direction on the screen of the display 130, or may be arranged in the horizontal direction. Each object on the object list may contain object information (e.g., object name, object icon, etc.).

According to various embodiments, when the processor 140 receives a user input in a state in which an object included in the object list can be selected (or instructed), the processor 140 can change the indication object in the object list corresponding to the user input. The processor 140 may highlight the instruction object to which the instruction object according to the user input is designated or changed to be distinguished from the other object (the remaining object). In various embodiments, the processor 140 may highlight the pointing object in different ways when the user input is a short press operation and when it is a long press operation. Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B, description will be given of designation and highlighting of the instruction object by dividing the short press operation and the long press operation.

2A, if the list direction of the object list is the horizontal direction and the user input is the short press operation, the processor 140 changes the instruction object 210 to the left or right direction corresponding to the short press operation, have. The processor 140 may display another object (remaining object) other than the designated instruction object at a first size and display an instruction object designated by the short press operation at a second size exceeding the first size.

For example, if the current instruction object is " WEB BROUSER ", the processor 140 displays " WEB BROUSER " at a second size, and another object (e.g., olleh tv¨Music) As shown in FIG. If the short press operation instructs the leftward movement, the processor 140 changes the current instruction object to " Music ", reduces the previous instruction object to the first size, 2 size. As described above, in various embodiments, at the time of the short press operation, the indication object and the other object can be distinguished by using the size parameter.

Referring to FIG. 2B, when the object list is oriented in the vertical direction and the user input is the long press operation indicating the upward or downward movement, the processor 140 selects the indication object 210 from the object list 200 Up or down direction can be specified. At this time, the processor 140 may display the indicated instruction object with the first transparency and the other object with the second transparency according to the long press operation. The second transparency may be set to a value that exceeds the first transparency. For example, if transparency is set to 100%, objects (such as pointing objects and other objects) are not visible as transparent, and if transparency is set to 0%, objects can be seen as the clearest.

For example, when confirming the long press operation instructing downward movement in the state that the instruction object " PORON PORON xxx " is displayed in the first degree of transparency, the processor 140 sets "xx three parentheses Quot; xx " can be displayed as the first transparency by changing the selected object to the current instruction object, displaying the " Poor Poor xxx " At this time, the processor 140 may display a plurality of objects at the same size. As described above, in various embodiments, when the instruction object is changed according to the long press operation, only the transparency is adjusted without changing the size, and the instruction object is distinguished from other objects, so that the gaze burden of the user can be reduced when the instruction object is rapidly changed .

According to various embodiments, the processor 140 may adjust at least one parameter, such as blur value, opacity, overlap, saturation, brightness, and hue, in place of or in addition to transparency, . For example, the processor 140 can emphasize and display the instruction object more than other objects by processing the other object to be lower in discrimination power than the instruction object by using at least one parameter.

For example, the processor 140 may highlight an indication object over another object by applying a blur value to blur other objects. In another example, the processor 140 may manipulate the transparency of another object to make it blurred (lowering the sharpness of other objects). In another example, the processor 140 may reduce the sharpness of other objects by performing an overlapping operation on another object. In another example, the processor 140 may reduce the saturation of other objects and reduce the sharpness of other objects by performing black and white processing. In addition, the processor 140 may emphasize the pointing object over other objects by changing at least one of the brightness and tint of the other object.

According to various embodiments, the processor 140 may highlight the pointing object over other objects as it implements the pointing object in accordance with the long press operation. Referring to FIG. 2C, an unrepresented object (another object) among the objects included in the object list 200 may be a two-dimensional image (which may include text). The two-dimensional image may be an image without added stereoscopic effect. Referring to FIG. 2D, the processor 140 may display and change the instruction object 210 according to the user input into a three-dimensional image. The three-dimensional image may be an image to which a three-dimensional image is added, and the three-dimensional image may be added by performing at least one of a shading treatment, a shadow effect, and a color application for a two-dimensional image. At this time, the processor 140 may display another object 220 in the object list 200 as a two-dimensional image. In various embodiments, the image processing for highlighting the pointing object may include a change (e.g., thickness, color change) to at least one of the image, text, and border of the pointing object. Accordingly, in various embodiments, it is possible to provide a user interface capable of distinguishing the object changing process during the short press operation and the long press operation. In addition, in various embodiments, when the instruction object is rapidly changed according to the long press operation, the object including the instruction object is displayed at the same size on the object list, so that the burden on the user's gaze is repeated in the same manner as the repetition of the short press operation Can be relatively reduced as compared with the prior art which has been controlled.

Referring back to FIG. 1, according to various embodiments, the processor 140 may provide a plurality of user interfaces over the duration of the long press operation. For example, the processor 140 may provide a first user interface, such as a short press operation, once the user input corresponding to the long press operation is received once. The first user interface may, for example, emphasize and display an instruction object according to user input by adjusting its size. In another example, the processor 140 may provide a second user interface according to the long press operation when the user input corresponding to the long press operation is received a plurality of times. The second user interface may highlight an indication object according to user input using at least one parameter except for the size.

According to various embodiments, the processor 140 may not further change the indication object even if the user input is continuously received according to the long press operation, if the indication object according to the user input is the last object in the object list. The last object may be an object located at the end of the object list in a direction to change and designate the instruction object according to user input. For example, if the direction of change of the pointing object corresponds to the direction of enumeration of the object list, the last object may be the object of the last order of the object list. For another example, if the change direction of the instruction object is the reverse of the direction of the list of objects, the last object may be the object of the first order of the object list. In various embodiments, the processor 140 may bounce at least one of the pointing object and the other object in the direction of the changing direction of the pointing object or vice versa when the pointing object is the last pointing object.

According to various embodiments, the processor 140 can identify the continuation (interruption) of the long press operation while changing and specifying the indication object in response to the long press operation. For example, the processor 140 may determine that the long press operation has been interrupted if the same user input as the previous user input is no longer received within the critical time while receiving the user input corresponding to the long press operation.

According to various embodiments, the processor 140 may highlight and display the last object pointed to at the end of the long press operation, if the long press operation is interrupted. For example, the processor 140 may emphasize (e.g., size) the size of the final object over other objects. In another example, processor 140 may bounce back the final object at least once in the display direction of display 130. When bouncing back the final object, the processor 140 increases the size of the final object from a second size to a third size through a plurality of steps, and then reduces the size of the final object from the third size to the second size Can be displayed. The second size may be greater than the size of other objects on the object list. The second size may be equal to or greater than a size for emphasizing the pointing object according to the short press operation. Accordingly, in various embodiments, it is possible to provide a user interface capable of distinguishing the interruption of the long press operation from the interruption of the short press operation.

According to various embodiments, when the long press operation is interrupted, the processor 140 may process at least one parameter (e.g., transparency) of the entire object list displayed on the screen . Accordingly, in various embodiments, it is possible to provide a user interface capable of clearly distinguishing between the long press operation and the long press operation.

According to various embodiments, the processor 140 may provide a different user interface than if the last object is the last object in the object list. For example, if the last object is the last object in the object list, the processor 140 may bounce back at least one of the end object and the other object to the direction of change of the pointing object or vice versa.

3 is a block diagram illustrating a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention for receiving user input using a remote control device.

Referring to FIG. 3, according to one embodiment, the input interface 110 may be a communication unit 110a that communicates with a remote control device 40 operated by a user.

According to one embodiment, the remote control device 40 may include at least one button (direction key) 411, 413, 415, 417 operated by a user, a touch panel, a motion recognition sensor or a voice recognition sensor . The remote control device 40 may be a dedicated control device of the display device 10 and may be a multi-control device provided with an app for controlling the display device 10. [ In one embodiment, the remote control device 40 may transmit a control signal corresponding to the key code when one of the keys is pressed. The remote control device 40 can transmit a control signal including a key code of a certain key at a critical time interval if one of the keys provided is continuously pressed (or long press operation). The threshold time may be set to be less than the time interval in which the remote control device 40 transmits the control signal as the key of the remote control device 40 is operated by the user. Thus, the processor 140 can distinguish the long press operation and the short press operation for the same button by using the critical time.

 According to one embodiment, the processor 140 identifies the key code from the control signal and performs processing corresponding to the key code (up key, down key, right key or left key) Change or leftward). For example, if the key code is the code of the up key 411, the instruction object is changed upward, and if the key code is the code of the down key 413, the instruction object is changed down, If the code of the direction key 415 is changed, the instruction object is changed to the left direction, and if the key code is the code of the right direction key 417, the instruction object can be changed to the right direction.

According to one embodiment, when the processor 140 sequentially receives the same key code as the previous key code, the processor 140 determines whether the reception interval of the sequentially received control signals is less than the threshold time in order to distinguish whether the key operation is a long press operation or a short press operation Can be confirmed. The processor 140 may determine that the user input is a long press operation when the receiving interval of the same received key code is less than the threshold time. On the other hand, the processor 140 can determine that the user input is a short press operation when the reception interval of the same key code received successively is greater than or equal to the threshold time. Processor 140 may determine that the user input is a short press operation unless it sequentially receives the same key code as the immediately preceding key code.

In the case where the input interface 110 is an input button, the processor 140 determines whether the operation signal corresponding to the input button operated by the user is the same or similar to the remote control device 40, It is possible to confirm whether the user input is a long press operation or a short press operation based on the reception interval. However, in the case of the input button, the processor 140 can directly receive the operation signal from the input button. When the input button is provided in an external device (e.g., a set-top box) connected to the external interface of the display device 10, the processor 140 can receive an operation signal from the input button through the communication unit.

4 is a diagram illustrating a display device according to another embodiment of the present invention for receiving user input using a touch pad.

Referring to FIG. 4, according to another embodiment, the input interface 110 may include a touch pad 110b and a touch control unit 110c. In various embodiments, the touch pad 110b may be operated by an operating means (e.g., a user's finger). The touch pad 110b may be a touch screen formed on the display 130. [ In this specification, the case where the touch pad 110b is a touch screen is described as an example. In various embodiments, the touch controller 110c (e.g., a TSP sensor) may control the touch pad 110b to output the touch coordinates of the operating means with respect to the touch pad 110b. In another embodiment, the display 130 can display the operation areas 131, 133, 135, and 137 for the long press operation and the short press operation on the screen.

According to another embodiment, when the processor 140 receives the touch coordinates, it can confirm that the touch coordinates are located on the operation areas 131, 133, 135, and 137. [ When the touch coordinates are located on the operation regions 131, 133, 135, and 137, the processor 140 can perform processing corresponding to the operation regions corresponding to the touch coordinates. For example, when the touch coordinate is the operation area 131 corresponding to the upward direction key, the processor 140 changes the instruction object upward in the object list, and if the touch coordinate is the operation area 133 corresponding to the downward direction key , The instruction object can be changed downward in the object list. The processor 140 changes the instruction object to the left direction in the object list if the touch coordinate corresponds to the left direction key and if the touch coordinate is the operation area 137 corresponding to the right direction key, You can change the pointing object to the right direction.

According to another embodiment, the processor 140 can determine whether the user input corresponding to the touch coordinates is a long press operation or a short press operation, when the same touch coordinates are successively received. In various embodiments, if the current touch coordinate is equal to the previous touch coordinates, the processor 140 determines whether the reception interval of the touch coordinates is less than the threshold time, and if the reception interval of the current touch coordinates and the immediately previous touch coordinates is less than the threshold time , The user input can be judged by the long press operation.

In another embodiment, the processor 140 can confirm that it is a short press operation when the reception interval of the touch coordinates and the immediately preceding touch coordinates is equal to or longer than the threshold time. In another embodiment, the manner in which the processor 140 distinguishes the long press operation from the short press operation based on the touch coordinates of the operating means may be set differently. For example, the processor 140 can determine the long press operation and the short press operation based on the change pattern of the touch coordinates or the like.

In another embodiment, the touch pad 110b is formed as a touch screen. Alternatively, even when the touch pad 110b is configured separately from the display 130, the operation areas 131, 133, 135, 137 of the touch pad 110b and the operation areas 131, The touch pad 110b may be provided separately from the display 130 if the objects (e.g., cursors) corresponding to the touch pads 133, 135,

5A to 5C are diagrams showing a user interface screen corresponding to a long press operation according to various embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5A, according to various embodiments, when the processor 140 confirms a shot press operation indicating one of the object lists, the instruction object corresponding to the user input in the object list can be highlighted and displayed have. For example, the processor 140 may display the instruction object larger than other objects.

In various embodiments, the processor 140 may highlight the default object among the objects included in the object list when the first function indicating the object list is executed. For example, the short press operation for executing the first function may be a short press operation in accordance with the operation of the home key of the remote control device 40. [

Referring to FIG. 5B, when the processor 140 confirms that the user input is a long press operation, the processor 140 may change and display the instruction object in a direction corresponding to the long press operation. The processor 140 may display the indication object according to the long press operation with other objects at the same size but display the indication object with lower transparency than the other objects. For example, the processor 140 may display the indication object 210 as a first transparency and the other objects except the indication object 210 as a second transparency (< first transparency) as shown in FIG. 5B . Accordingly, in various embodiments, it is possible to emphasize and display the instruction object in a form that can distinguish the short press operation from the long press operation while reducing the gaze load of the user.

Referring to FIG. 5C, when the long press operation is interrupted, the processor 140 can bounce back the final object 220 indicated immediately before the stop of the long press operation in the display direction of the display 130. FIG. For example, the processor 140 may increase the size of the final object from a second size to a third size through a plurality of steps, and then reduce the size of the final object from a third size to a second size through a plurality of steps, The final object can be bounced back in the display direction of the object 130. [ The second size may be greater than the size of other objects on the object list. The second size may be a size that emphasizes an instruction object according to a short press operation. As described above, in various embodiments, it is possible to provide a user interface capable of clearly distinguishing between the long press operation and the long press operation completion.
